Geert Hofstede, Cultural Dimensions
Geert Hofstede , Cultural Dimensions:
1) Power Distance Index
2) Individualism
3) Masculinity
4)Uncertainty Avoidance Index
5) Long-Term Orientation
Just check the link and it would lead you to G. Hofstede`s web page and there you could read the explanations concerning the cultural dimensions.
I`m writing this because 1) there are still people who haven`t heard about them, although they use terms as “individualistic” country and 2) because I got to briefly explain the second one today and I could do it a bit better, so I needed some reminds 
So far I have read only one article from Geert Hofstede- “Motivation, Leadership, and Organization: Do American Theories Apply Abroad?”, but I kindly recommend it to you. It was really interesting and it does not only explain how countries differ from each other, but also gives some explanation how culture affects management practices and how the latter should be adapt to a specific country in order to be more effective.
If you are interested in cultural differences and how they affect the process of doing business and managing, I would recommend you Fons Trompenaars and his bestseller “Riding the Waves of Culture”.
Поздрави от Амстердам
Cultural differences (in general), Cross-cultural management ( especially in HR), Values-based leadership and so on
Thanks for the recommendation and усмивки от Варшава /въпреки, че Амстердам звучи по-добре и благородно завиждам

I may be wrong but what Stroopkoeken recommends is academically unreliable.
At least according to the foreward of “Software of the Mind” but I’m not sure is this the same title though the mentioned one was “The Waves of……i don’t remeber the rest”
I still haven`t check his works but as soon as I do so, I would share my opinion…
